[PRCo] Re: Experimental B3 trucks

[Holland Electric Rwy. Op. H.E.R.O. -- Import SPTC 1.48 Models // James B. Holland]

The books mention 1230 and 1278    ----    because equipment was in 
short supply during WW2 if the experimentals were pulled from the car 
For Any Reason they probably just pushed another set of regular trucks 
under the car and sent it right back out  -- thus we have 1225 with 
experimentals as it had its trucks removed when the experimentals were 
ready to go back out.

Believe there were only 4-sets  --  two sets with double spring pots 
each side under the 1200s and 2-set with single spring pot that went 
under 1613 and 1614.       Or maybe one of the twelves also had a set 
with only one spring pot.
